Sore Back For Sure

ROCKPORT TEXAS

JANUARY 8, 2025

We decide today was the day to tangle with the battery situation. So we started unpacking the bedroom and stacking stuff all over the place to allow the OFM to be able to work in the area under the bed where the batteries have lived for the last 15 years. It is a very cramped area to say the least.

One of the batteries has already been removed when this picture was taken. The next two shots were from the same spot but just turning around to show all the stuff stacked around to make room to get to the battery area.

One battery had ben removed already before the OFM remembered to take pictures. This area had to be squatted in to fit down into it to get to all the wiring. those 45 plus pound batts left the OFM with quite a sore back tonight. Ibuprofen is my best buddy tonight.

The new battery box will arrive in two days and we can start on the outside work that has to be done. We are feeling like moving the batteries to the tongue of the trailer will be better at this stage of our Rving life.

Now we have to be very careful to route the wiring carefully so we do not cause a short circuit fire to happen. We checked around and found that Walmart would take the old batteries for disposal at no charge even though we did not purchase the new batts from them. That is really nice. We also found out loading them into a shopping cart was a serious effort the OFM does not want to do ever again.

And that is about it for today. The OFM  is heading for a bowl of Ibuprofen for supper so hopefully he will be able to sleep comfortably tonight.
